The already stunning driving model has been tweaked even further too, and opponent Al has also received a boost with the addition of LiveBrain. Despite sounding like in-game complimentary cerebral matter, this means that Al drivers will now take a lap or two to warm up their tyres and adjust to the track, helping to even out the playing field between the player and the Al.
Don't think that the modes have scaped attention either - three entirely new ones have been added to the roster. Time Trial allows you to concentrate on getting one amazing lap time with the option to download other's ghost runs to compete against , and hour races iround five of the tracks will also feature.
But our favourite addition is the Driving School. Forget the lessons you took with an structor who got nervous every time you went over 30mph: these involve hi-octane tutorials on all aspects of driving, from effective gear changes to overtaking.
Get hem perfected to beat the instructor and also unlock custom championships. At first glance, it may appear that SimBin's changes are minor tweaks, but you add them all together and put them on top of what's already a brilliant jame, it's clear to see they're striving for nothing short of perfection.
And judging by their past achievements and what we've so far, they may well achieve it. There'll be no Choco Krispies here As a kid, we all have dreams, hopes and desires that most of us will probably never realise.
For myself, getting to drive a highly powered sports car round a track was always pretty high up my list but it was never likely to happen. That is, until Simbin came along and like some kind of Swedish fairy godmother granted my wish minus the wand and tutu. Yes OK, I know it's only a game, but let's face it, it's hardly like I'd be able to afford the real deal anyway. As far as driving titles go, this is probably the closest you'll get to the real deal. The main draw of Simbin's titles have always been their extraordinary driving model.
As soon as you take the wheel, you'll know that this is no casual racer. Instead, you're treated to a taster of just what it's like to drive one of these monsters in real life. Braking in straight lines, bringing power back on smoothly and finding the perfect racing line; that's what this racer is all about. Adopt any other driving style and you'll be met with crashes, lots of off-track and facing the wrong way at mph; all pretty scary things to experience in half-a-million pounds worth of metal.
Simbin have tweaked the model a little from GTR and as such, the cars now feel far more solid beneath you and with a bit of practice, some controllable sideways action is now achievable, whether from putting down lots of power early out of corners or going for that elusive full corner drift although if you manage this, you deserve to be worshipped.

Ask a question Reviews 18 History. GTR 2 is simply unmatched in its level of play detail, on the course and off. The AI-which can control up to 56 cars-has been refreshed since the series' last installment.
There's something sickly satisfying about turning the difficulty up to "Psychotic" and hitting the course at Spa. Because the damage system has been updated, too, crashes with AI are more involved than before, and you may find yourself using the quick replay often, just to see the physics recreate some truly spectacular crashes.
Another new addition is the autopilot, which can be turned on during races to keep your pace steady. Graphically, GTR 2 is on par with the best-looking racing titles available. While the emphasis is clearly on realism, with the graphics set to 11, the game shines alongside its contemporaries.
Users without supercharged systems can benefit from GTR 2's extensive graphics options, which will allow for players to precisely configure their video settings to get the most details out of the cars and tracks-which is, really, what you're going to be looking at.
At MPH, you'll have better things to do than count the polygons in the tree shadows. The tracks and vehicle models in GTR 2 are a major draw for many purchasers, and they do not disappoint in the slightest. Many of the cars and tracks from the original make their way over to this sequel, and each has been spit-shined with new models and rendering.
Only a large handful are unlocked in the beginning, but they include Maseratis, Vipers, a Lamborghini, and over a dozen others. Each vehicle model is tremendously detailed-down to the key slot on the trunk of the M3, which was a detail either added for the game or simply missed by me while playing the other GTR iterations.
